Karl-Anthony Towns did not stay silent after New York Knicks fans booed him in the wake of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ defeat to the Dallas Mavericks on Jan. 19, 2026.
Speaking to reporters in the visiting locker room at Madison Square Garden, the Timberwolves center acknowledged the jeers and delivered what he called a “raw” response, insisting he was unfazed by the crowd’s reaction. Towns emphasized that his focus remained on correcting mistakes that led to the team’s rough night against Dallas.
Details of Towns’ comments were limited, but the three-time NBA All-Star made it clear he understands the passion of New York’s fan base and expects vocal feedback—positive or negative—whenever he plays at the Garden.
The Timberwolves will look to rebound from the loss when their road trip continues later this week.
